Images with "attached" text doesn't show on RiotX (while does on desktop)

I don't know what are proper terms to express this issue I just figured with RiotX, but I'll try to explain and show screenshots. I just figured that RiotX doesn't really show text that is sent within image too well.. like with telegram bridge or so... while Riot-desktop does just fine.

Screenshot from RiotX: riotx

Screenshot from Riot-desktop: riot-desktop

You'll see the text on bottom of image in Riot-desktop, while in RiotX there is no hint of any additional/adjacent text. I'd consider this as bug.

EDIT/ADD: For complete stuff, also screenshot from telegram-desktop side: Telegram

There is no official "caption" for image in Matrix. The body is generally used to put the filename, and you will see that Riot-Web does that assertion too: the message is "Download In this one..."

As the body is used as fallback RiotX does not display it by default. You can see it with a long click on the image.

https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2529 is a thing too

I'm seeing this same behavior on the latest f-droid release (1.6.34) even though the PR linked to that proposal was merged over a year ago. Is this expected?
